Try simplifying your settings down to the bare minimum:

"mail": {
        "transport": "SMTP",
        "options": {
            "service": "Mailgun",
            "auth": {
                "user": "your user",
                "pass": "your pass"
            }
        }
    },

Remember to run ghost restart after changing config.

If you’re still getting errors, take a look in ghost log to see if you can get more details about the error.

Still getting Error below is the log after bare minimum setting.

Thanks for Response, i use the same mailgun account but with api select instead of SMTP for my nodejs program for testing and it works, is there any way to use api method in ghost app ?

No, there’s no way to do that.

It seems like either your mailgun account isn’t configured to accept the traffic - or you’ve got some sort of firewall preventing the connection.

Thanks, it might be due to domain of mail gun i am using mailgun provided domain for testing purpose.
